About

It happened so suddenly… I was sitting in my cubicle, working on the umpteenth “top priority” of the day. When it suddenly dawned on me. I was deluged. I was overwhelmed with sensory input. So-n-so cabinet member was going before a Congressional Committee and absolutely NEEDED this report. And, at the same time, The Secretary of (this governmental agency) needed to know “the numbers” ASAP (he has a presentation in one hour). And I’m still trying to ascertain whether this past month’s “Month End Closing” has actually completed – in all it’s gory details.

Suddenly, I was aware that I was practically performing database “triage”. And the name came to me.
